Chondroitinase ABC is a lyase that degrades chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid into disaccharides. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of chondroitinase ABC to degrade chondroitin sulfate in which theN-acetyl groups are substituted with different acyl groups. The bovine tracheal chondroitin sulfate A (bCSA) wasN-deacetylated by hydrazinolysis, and the free amino groups derivatized intoN-formyl,N-propionyl,N-butyryl,N-hexanoyl orN-benzoyl amides. Treatment of theN-acyl orN-benzoyl derivatives of bCSA with chondroitinase ABC and analysis of the products showed that theN-formyl,N-hexanoyl andN-benzoyl derivatives are completely resistant to the enzyme. In contrast, theN-propionyl orN-butyryl derivatives were degraded into disaccharides with slower kinetics compared to that of unmodified bCSA. The rate of degradation of bCSA derivatives by the enzyme was found to be in the order ofN-acetyl>N-propionyl>>N-butyryl bCSA. These results have important implications for understanding the interaction ofN-acetyl groups of glycosaminoglycans with chondroitinase ABC.
